Eight villagers were buried by landslides in China’s Tibet Autonomous Region on Friday, local publicity department said Saturday night.
Nine villagers were taking shelter from the rain in a cave in Paldenze Village, Medog County in Nyingchi City when the landslides occurred.
One was pulled out with severe injuries and taken to hospital while the search for the other villagers continues.
Mountainous regions of Tibet are prone to such disasters, which can be exacerbated by heavy mining activity.
In 2013 a total of 83 people died when a vast volume of rock crashed down a mountainside east of the capital Lhasa, burying a mines workers’ camp
